Why isn't popcorn a vegetable?
|
|
|
|
It is according to me!!! A vegetable SNACK cooked in vegetable OIL.

Hmmmm.
Not sure corn technically counts as a vegetable in the first place. The "seeds" are on the outside, first of all, and the properties of the kernels suggest that it actually ought to be classified with grains or nuts instead... The way we use it seems to be more in keeping with the "grain" classification... |

Definition:
1. grain of cereal plant: the grain of a tall annual cereal plant that produces densely packed ears of grains attached to a central core. Use: as a vegetable, ground for flour, to produce oil, or for livestock feed. 2. cereal plant producing corn: the cereal crop that yields corn. It has been cultivated as a food crop since ancient times. Native to: Central, South America. Latin name Zea mays. 3. U.K. wheat, barley, or oats: any cereal crop, especially wheat, barley, or oats SO RIGHT!!! Here we've been forced to eat our vegetables and all along mom should have said "eat your grain"!!!! But, note, it says it's USED AS A VEGETABLE!!! I'M SO CONFUSED!!!! |

POTATO!!! They are really tubers!!!!
1. root vegetable: a rounded white tuber cooked in a variety of ways as a vegetable. Use: industrial source of starch. |

First our history teachers lie to us growing up, now this! Our entire lives have been a charade!!!!! (I can be more melodramatic, just ask)

and while I'm here- potato chips, think about it...........lol That has something to do with a scientific formula about chips and the direct correlation to the size of a person's butt and thight ... I failed biology, so I can't tell you exactly why, but there IS an important reason for those delicious fried potatoes to be something else! |
|
|
|
you failed biology? Get out, just get out======>
lol |
|
|
|
you failed biology? Get out, just get out======> lol Okay, that's a lie...I didn't fail biology. But the correlation between potato chips and butt/thigh size was a question I ALWAYS missed on the exams... the only solution is to miss class and avoid that calculation at all costs (or at least the cost of having to buy bigger jeans if I DON'T get it right! - EGADS!) |
